AVSN Statement - CONDEMN UNDEMOCRATIC COUP IN HONDURAS:
Statement by the Australia-Venezuela Solidarity Network (AVSN)
CONDEMN UNDEMOCRATIC COUP IN HONDURAS:
The Australia-Venezuela Solidarity Network (AVSN) strongly condemns the undemocratic coup conducted by a small group of military, members of the oligarchy and their political agents in Honduras. The violent kidnapping and expulsion to Costa Rica of democratically-elected President Manuel Zelaya is a ruthless attack on the rights of the Honduran people to freely elect their own leaders, and decide their own political future.
Join the next solidarity brigade to Venezuela! December 1st to 9th, 2009
Venezuela’s Bolivarian revolution led by President Hugo Chavez is shaking up global politics and inspiring millions of ordinary people with the evidence that a better – a peaceful, democratic and socially just – world is possible.
* Whereas in Australia, health, education and public infrastructure is being privatised, in Venezuela, major industries are being nationalised and put under workers’ control, and universal access to health, education and social welfare is now guaranteed.
